Mars, the male action planet fires into feminine earthbound VENUS’s territory now. Mars sexy’s up All Taurus people and things. But Mars is weakened in Venus’s feminine abode and also when he’s in the opposite sign he rules, Scorpio. But the warrior needs to take off his armor and rest his body and recoup from the wars.

MARS in Taurus is like the Tarot card of the Prince of Disks

In ancient times it was recognized that warriors had PTSD. When they returned from battles, they first had to go to the sacred temples of the Goddess to be cleansed and renewed from their sin of bloodshed. There they were healed of their traumas by ritually being made love to by menstruating Tantric priestesses who embodied the Goddess. These women possessed magical healing powers because of their sacred menstrual blood and their dedication to the Goddess. The men would have been eternally grateful to the priestesses and to the Goddess for blessings and healing them in this way.  After a period of time, these men could return to normal life in their communities with their families, wives, and children, whole and renewed. 

Mars in Taurus is full on sensuality. It’s a slow hand. Time for all signs to get massaged, smothered in chocolate syrup. As a lazy sign, we can really use this position to SLOW DOWN, smell the roses, and give your couch lots of attention. Taurus has great taste so do buy beautiful perfumes, wines, and clothes. Mars in Taurus is sooo stubborn. So don’t expect much negotiating, in fact, expect NIL and you won’t be frustrated and start to stomp those hoofs of yours. 

DON’T WEAR RED unless you want to stir up an angry bull who will charge at you.

Will the markets pick up? No, Mars in Taurus is not in good shape. Venus will leave also Taurus on April 11.  Mars in Taurus is good for the real estate market though. Taurus rules all hands-on, blue-chip earthy investments. 

Mars in Taurus invites you to get back to nature. Walk in the woods, start your gardening. Plant your seeds, hoe your garden. Make love on the earth. Fix up your house. Take pride in your possessions. 

According to Rex Bills rulership book Taurus governs, 

April, Australia, copper, architecture, Dublin Ireland, Cypress, Georgia, Holland, money, Persia, Poland, tonsils.

Mars in Taurus peeps are often great singers. This aspect loves art and music,go to concerts, sing, buy art to beautify your abode.

SLOW HAND- the Pointer Sisters 

 

 

Super consciousness Mercury Retrograde, Re-imagine

A Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius starts today Jan 21- Feb 11..

Re-imagine everything!

This is a super consciousness re-wiring of our minds to imagine a new collective Higher Hive Mind . re-imagining a future with equality, freedom and co-operation. With many wishes hopes and dreams for all. That is the old 11th sign/house meaning. Rx is a good thing.

It will be exceptionally strong. Be forewarned. Especially for all you AIR SIGNS- GEMINI, LIBRA and AQUARIUS. Aquarius rules the Net so especially major hacking time!!!

LEO’s at the opposition also get particularly nailed. As do the other Fixed signs- Taurus and Scorpio.

 Everyone feels the Mercury Retrograde of course. Capricorn and Pisces being the next signs to Aquarius, may tend to feel it in subtler ways. It would be good to keep track of that. Of course Capricorn’s, like my husband says.”now don’t go making a crutch of this.”  He was born on a Mercury Retrograde so for him and all of you Mercury Retrograders, these times are most beneficial for you.

BORN THIS WAY

If you are born during a Mercury Retrograde and 33% of the population is. You are in your Zone during Mercury Retrrogrades. So make the most of it. Don’t know if you were born that way?  Get your astrology read: http://www.taratarot.com

 Pisces peeps are under Saturn and Neptune’s beams anyways now.

Caught between a dream and a hard place. Hey I like the sound of that.

With the Sun in Aquarius, on an Aquarius SUPER MOON, a New moon with Venus there too, and the next New Moon at the last degree of Aquarius on Feb, 18 this super charges everything!

In the Air sign of Aquarius, Mercury is swifter, faster, in his home element. So the damage, the winds, the tornadoes and lightning bolts are much stronger.

Yes Aquarius’s symbol is water/ like electrical energy, lightning bolts. So imagine that we are having lightning  being hurled by Thor or Zeus or the Higher Beings to us mere mortals down here on earth. Yes I know Zeus/Thor is Jupiter. 

I can already feel Mercury Retro. Can you? shall we start a tales of Mercury Retrograde thing?

I sent an e-transfer to someone – she says it totally disappeared!

Trying to connect with someone on Skype-we both can’t find the add contact button which also seems to have disappeared! 

A client was here, and left his beautiful Borsellino hat. He had to come back for it.

Do all the Re- things. Like Relationships… Re Re re resepct!

Review, recalculate, rest, return, relegate, renovate, reality, restless, reputation, reckless, recycle, rehab, regulate, resist, relish, rectify, rebellion, reduce, refute, remember, renege, reopen, repeal, require, resuscitate, retaliate, rewind, retribution, revolution,rework,  resist, repeat, peat, peat. 

This will be a very heady mercury Retrograde as it is all about communications, the mind, analysis.

Rethink… old revolutions, changes and big shifts in perspective will come up.

Mercury sextiles Uranus, Aquarius’s ruling planet on Jan 27/28 to give you some super brilliant resolutions.

Mercury sextiles Saturn in Sagittarius Feb. 5 

this brings reviews of all things related to education, justice, who told the truth?

foreign relations, travel, history, philosophy, freedom, airlines, animal rights, and more.

MEDITATE on the powers of the Collective consciousness

We are all one big collective MIND HIVE.

Feel your interconnection with all others. 

This Retrograde allows us to reintegrate all the changes that have gone on during the last Uranus-Pluto squares, and the eclipses. We must revision where the collective is going.

– Ya gotta do the Moon walk 

I love you like a love song baby- Selena Gomez 

Like a Virgin, dirty laundry and Astrology lessons.

Aug 22 Bye bye Royal Leo passions, we shed our big drama ego roles and come very down to earth as the Sun enters VIRGO – till Autumn Equinox, Sept 22. Time to feel LIKE A VIRGIN. Makin’ love for the very first time.

Virgo the Virgin- Goddess of the Harvest, is whole and complete unto herself.  She NEVER has dirty laundry lying around.

Time to sort the wheat from the chaff, most of you don’t even know what that phrase means anymore. The focus is on getting down to the very practical humdrum, maintenance of life. Kids are returning to school, the seasons begin to change.

It’s earthy pragmatic, take account of  of what your hard work has brought you so far.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury which follows the Sun one day after on Aug 23. We are getting doubly messaged about taking care of the details.

How very Virgo of the Universe, to remind us twice to not forget our need to do the laundry  and clean up our messes.Virgo’s love hard work, discipline, organizing and being frugal.

In the Tarot the sign of VIRGO adorns the Hermit the 9th Trump.

The Hermit, like Virgo, through deep stillness and focusing inwards, finds their own truth and inner light.

Virgo’s are always on time, balance the budget, follow through on 5 year plans. They are artful tradespeople and take pride in doing a good job for the satisfaction that it brings. Virgo’s are analytical, intellectual and often have great memories They often work in the health industry, as dietitians, pharmaceuticals, alternative medicine, chiropractor’s. They make especially good  accountants, statisticians, etc.

Virgo lovers

What turns Virgo’s on? Order, practical,simple efficient high quality, good value. Books. Ideas. Walks in nature. Punctuality, meticulous cleanliness.They are  nit picky, dependable, perfectionists, pragmatic, organized, analytical, devoted. They like to talk about intellectual matters, analyze economics, numbers, books. They will always remember a birthday  or anniversary. As they are Workaholics, you may not see them that much. Don’t expect lavish gifts or frilly lingerie ladies, they are frugal and would buy you something practical. You will need to clean up your act, diet and routine for a Virgo. They will show their love for you by cleaning up you mess, fire and air signs.

Virgo’s often have underlying health issues, they worry a lot. Their most sensitive part is their upper intestine and they do tend to have digestive issues, crone’s disease, celiac and such. They are great at watching their diet, exercising etc. when they need to.

Virgo’s  love being in nature and care deeply about the environment. The Pluto in Virgo Generation born after the Baby Boomer’s Pluto in Leo -total consumption lifestyle is to clean the world up. 

Virgo’s are sensible, the opposite of Pisces which is all dreams, illusions, fantasy, ephemeral, spirituality. Virgo’s do the grease monkey work so that you can ride your dream Cadillac all refurbished on a golden afternoon. Virgo’s are the one’s with the stains on their hands- No their not, they carefully wash their hands and keep their nails scrupulously clean.

Check out  which house the Virgo Sun and Mercury will be passing through in your own chart as clues and keys to where you need to take account, clean up your act, and be of service, focused, watch your spending.

What if you have no Virgo cusp in your chart?

If you have no Virgo cusp- or access to Virgo.  This looks like, Leo for example and the entire sign of Virgo is contained within one house which then ends in early Libra. That is called an intercepted house. It has to do with where you were born on the earth.  YOu would look at Virgo in the ocntext of that particular house. I have Virgo in my 10th house, it is intercepted. So I need to work hard on my career and public image for the next solar month. How do you access your Virgoness with an intercepted Virgo? I would then look at where the sign of Gemini is in the chart as Mercury also rules Gemini. Gemini is in my 8th house cusp. Therefore I would look at how the detailed work of Virgo can totally transform my life and soul on the deepest levels.

BEST THINGS TO DO AT VIRGO TIME.

De-clutter, organize your finances, finish those baby & photography albums; Get your diet and lifestyle into shape. Join book groups and clubs, learn practical skills, canning, DIY, crafts. Find fun in cleaning, be grateful for what you do have. Commit to being of service. 

I need to declutter. 

It is time to enjoy the summer’s harvest all this month and make yourself ready to survive the winter.
